Freeware Gems

I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but this little UTVA-74 Yugoslav trainer, made by the same designers as the freeware SOKO Galeb jet trainer is quite nice, and very well done considering it was designed on the cusp od FS2002/FS9 ...

I can't remember if I mentioned J.E.Narcizo's PA-18 Super Cub or not. Version 2 comes with regular and tundra tired version of the PA-18. There is an older float plane version as well, nice but not nearly as nice as the two wheeled versions in the version 3 package.

The PA18_v3.zip package will give you the latest version of J.E.'s wonderful plane. Very nice external modeling, reflective glass, very nice VC.

PA18fix.zip will correct a couple texture problems on both models and give you a corrected config file for the regular wheeled PA-18 to correct the tail wheel sinking into the ground.

PA18gau.zip will give you the missing gauges from the PA18_v3.zip package.

Then to make this sweet plane even better:

HPPA18PNL.zip will give both both models photo realistic 2D and VC panels and some really sharp XLM based gauges.

Cub9x.zip is a demo version of a PA-18 package...can't remember by who, and I haven't checked these planes out yet...they have those Demo Banners or some such....but I did grab the sound package out of this....very nice PA-18 sounds!

There is also a paint kit for the Version 3 planes....very nicely done by J.E.Narcizo himself.

All of these files can be found on Flightsim.com.

don't know if it has been mentioned before, but this little UTVA-74 Yugoslav trainer...

Ya know, just when I thought I've already uncovered every neat and obscure aircraft for FS, along comes a gem like this. Thanks for the HU! I've never even heard of these planes in real life...much less FS. Their Galeb has always been a top-notch craft...and I can see their craftsmanship extends to this little cousin, too...
 
Thought of one more after I saw the last one.
It's a little dated but still nice.
The Valmet L-70 Vinka
You can get it over at Simviation in the FS2002 Props section.
http://www.simviation.com/fs2002props56.htm

Just make sure to give it some up trim on take off and then build up speed.
Once the airspeed is up, it flies very nice. Watch your load though. You will need to trim it for that too.

Hi guys

If you want to fly something really oscure, try this Blohm und Voss Bv-141:

bv141bf2.zip at flightsim.com. It was created for FS2002, but it is made so brilliantly that it even works great in FSX!

I found a GREAT freeware gem at Flightsim.com. It's a PT-19 Trainer with a VC and two paints, a Pre-WW2 blue and yellow (just like that Cox .049 control line plane I flew when I was kid) and a silver post war USAF trim. It flies like a trainer and has great visibility, especially if you edit out the snout in the main panel bitmap. Here's a pic and the link:

I may have a number of new skins done for the PT-19. I was working on a major update of the plane...new skins, new panel, tweaked flight dynamics. I lost the tweaks but I think I still have the paints...will check.

Just checked my external HD...and as luck would have it...I had made back ups of the tweaked PT-19 and the PT-26 by J. E. Nacizo. The 26 was basically the exact same plane as the 19, but with duel canopies. Let me check them out, made some final paint tweaks, and get them uploaded...should have uploaded them long ago...this darn AADD thing tends to get in the way or productivity.

Lol, you crack me up Obio!

Well, it's true. Having Adult Attention Deficient Disorder is a real pain in the butt. I get started on one plane, then I mozie off to another, then another, then another....I end up with a pile of projects 5 miles tall and none of them get done. Heck, I have projects dating back 2, maybe 3 years that have not gotten that last 10 minutes of work needed to finish them off.

Like right now....I am working on the paint template for Brian Gladden's Volpar (the tri-cycle conversion of the Beech 18)....I started working on it in January 2009, got side tracked by some other project....but I should be finishing off the Alpha Bobcat project, the PT-19 and PT-26 projects...all three of which are only minutes away from being ready to upload.

And it's just not sim stuff that suffers. A couple weeks ago, I was cleaning my 55 gallon fish tank. I had the gravel vacuumed to remove all the poo and food debris, and was letting the Python....basically a very expensive water hose for aquarium use....siphon out a lot of the old water to make room for clean, fresh water. AADD kicked in and I was off on some other tangent....my focus was brought back to the fish tank when I heard my fish flopping.....while I was off doing something else, every bit of water was sucked out of the tank and my poor fish were laying on the gravel. I had to kick things into over drive to get water back into the tank before they started dying. Luckily, none of my fish died or suffered any injuries...though a few of them have developed bladder control issues and pee themselves whenever they see me with the Python in my hand (that sounds a lot dirtier than it should for some reason).

That'll be great! :jump: I really like this plane for doing touch & gos and flying low and slow. It has nice flight dynamics & visibility. I tweaked the .cfg file to add differential brakes as it doesn't have much rudder control on the ground, even with a blast of the prop. I really like it for flying around my home city.

I can sympathize with the ADD, I've had it all my life and now I've been diagnosed as having depression, which has also affected my short term memory. I walk into the kitchen and I can't remember what I wanted to do. I can concentrate on one thing at a time, but anymore than that and it all goes to hell. It sucks.

Okay, maybe this one was postet before ??? :kilroy:

But if not, checki t !!!

The freeware Saab Draken by Thomas Nielsson

Realy a freeware treasure for me

Take a look at his site

http://flightsim.bookmark.se/

Also some versions available at flightsim.com. btw I prefer Version 3.2 for FS9. Via the panel you can change the "loadout" Austrian and swedish versions included !

Some simple screenies by me....

a few austrian and 3 swedish repaints included. A liittle problem is that you can see the AB only by klicking the "I" key...Must be a matter of the gauges.... ???

Okay, like it or leave it :mixedsmi:

One of my favorite light planes

I Don't know if this one has been mentioned, but it is a great little bird. Easy to paint, easy to modify and a lot of fun to fly. I'm talking about the Piel Emeraude by Gilles Faulmeyer.
